More than 550,000 households and over 85,000 businesses in Connecticut have taken advantage of energy choice. All energy consumers in CT, from large corporations to your next-door neighbors, have the ability to shop around for their electricity supply.

What is energy choice?

The simplest way to understand energy choice is by looking at your most recent bill. You’ll see two main parts: delivery charges and generation charges. Your local utility delivers electricity through the power lines that lead into your home, and you pay delivery charges. The generation portion of your bill, usually shown as the rate per kilowatt-hour, is the cost of the actual electricity you use. In Connecticut, suppliers compete to supply the generation portion of your bill. Enter your ZIP above to see what’s available.

What's the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority?

The Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) plays a role in energy choice by facilitating competitive supplier choices and educating Connecticut consumers. PURA also authorizes licenses for electricity suppliers to ensure they have met strict requirements for doing business in Connecticut, and powers Energize CT, a tool that consumers can use to compare electric options.
